@JerryP - great job as always. Great tone and nailed the groove. Excellent.

@LesterH - subscribed and rang the bell. Looking forward to your covers, although IMO you should feel free to post them here as well. You memorized and played Tom Sawyer by ear? I can’t imagine that… I have a hard enough time remembering a song that’s written out in front of me… Excellent job…

LesterH · January 9, 2022, 7:32pm

Thanks man! I will definitely do my best to do that. I memorized it because I played it so much figuring it out plus I love that song some of the others I still have to look at my notes when playing

Great cover once again @JerryP . Hit the note on the nose every time and that’s not as easy as it seems.

Already subscribed @LesterH . Look forward to hearing the new stuff

Happy 2022 Bass Buzzers.
Listened to this gem over Xmas and decided to learn it. It’s from Dire Straits second album entitled Communiqué (1979).
Fender P Bass > HX Stomp (Fender Bassman patch) > Focusrite > DAW (Garageband)
13 months of learning bass and still loving it.

That’s great, not the easiest bassline and you nailed it.

skydvr · January 10, 2022, 6:02am

Excellent @Barney ! Sounded super solid… You learned that all since Xmas? Amazing…

Mac · January 10, 2022, 6:59am

Very solid performance @Barney

Great playing, @Barney, love it!

John_E · January 10, 2022, 10:47am

@Barney - you need a band man, you did great, good tone, good everything.

wellbi · January 10, 2022, 11:16am

That’s really cool. Barney! I just wonder what’s the recording chain. The tone reminds me the most of Dee Dee Ramone’s Ampeg boom. Great … everything!

JerryP · January 10, 2022, 2:24pm

Great job @Barney ! It seemed like a difficult bassline to play, but you pulled it off beautifully!

Barney · January 10, 2022, 2:33pm

The chain was Fender P Bass with GHS Precision Flats > HX Stomp (Fender Bassman patch) > Focusrite Scarlett Solo > DAW (Garageband)
I shaped the tone using the Helix Stomp - I added a compressor pedal, an EQ pedal and the Fender Bassman amp sim. That’s it for effects. I just tweaked the settings in Helix until I liked the sound. It’s a really powerful piece of kit and I’m just scratching the surface of what it can do.
Thanks for all the kind words. I really enjoy watching everyone else’s work, as I now appreciate how much effort goes into putting one of these out.

Hey guys. Just a video of my buddy and me jamming to Just Like Heaven by The Cure. I’ve been a huge fan of The Cure for about 30 years now and it’s fun to play some of their stuff. The bass was shaking the floor of this old house my buddy rented for the weekend, so the video is super shaky.

that’s very rock’n’rool !

John_E · January 10, 2022, 9:58pm

Sounding GREAT!

Paul_9207 · January 10, 2022, 10:02pm

Thank you!

That is awesome. My Gallien Kreuger amp does that when I crank it. My new little wife runs to the living room. She ain’t used to the low-end yet.
